Daily Dose of Mindfulness

"Daily Dose of Mindfulness"  is an opportunity for all 糖心原创 community members to experience guided mindfulness practices with a facilitator. D.O.S.E. is an acronym for dopamine, oxytocin, serotonin, and endorphins, four of the most important  neurochemicals that influence how we feel, think, connect with others, and respond to life鈥檚 challenges. Together, they shape our motivation, emotional stability, relationships, and resilience.

Daily dose sessions include a variety of different practices ranging from 5 minutes to 25 minutes. These practices could include breath meditation, body scan, mindful eating, mindful movement, compassion and loving kindness practices, visualization and other mindful activities. No prior experience necessary.

Daily Dose Community Agreements for Zoom Sessions

When participating in mindfulness activities through the virtual platform, we agree to adhere to the following principles and actions to ensure the best experience for all:

  • Sessions will not be recorded to respect the privacy of participants and facilitators.
  • Facilitators will control audio mute/unmute for all sessions.  Participants may use 鈥渉and raise鈥 and chat for questions/comments
  • Please use first name (rather than phone number or other handle) on your screen (last name optional).  
  • Please check in for mindfulness sits by posting your name and campus role (faculty/staff/student) in the zoom chat or by renaming your screen.
  • Video On is a strongly suggested default for participants. (At minimum, 鈥渧ideo on鈥 upon joining a session is requested.)This practice emphasizes the safety and comfort of the facilitator and fellow participants, and allows the facilitator to monitor any trauma responses in participants.
  • Join us with an open mind and heart to receive the most benefit from the practice!

Fall 2026 Weekly Sessions

Sessions will start August 31st and run through the fall semester except for holidays. 

Tai Chi

This semester we will be offering Tai Chi on Tuesdays from 12pm to 12:30pm in Serenity Circle outside SBSB. Tai chi is a form of martial art that started in ancient China. By combining martial arts and meditative movements, tai chi promotes the balance and healing of both mind and body and is used primarily for health purposes today. There are many different styles of tai chi, but all involve slow, relaxed, graceful movements, with each movement flowing seamlessly into the next. No prior experience necessary. Bring a friend, a family member, or a colleague.
